New South Wales Branch PD Event – 18 February 2017

The New South Wales Branch of PACFA is holding their first Professional Development event in February!

This event includes two speakers:

The Personal is the Professional – Elana LeighWho we are informs us how we practice, but do we stop to evaluate and explore this central question of identity? Our personal values and philosophies guide our choices of theories and practice and articulating them often helps to ground us more firmly in our moment by moment work. In this workshop we will explore this question with the intention of finding ways to feel and be more congruent in our professional identity.

Delving Deeper – Jo FrascaThe problems surrounding deficient mental health are now widespread and worsening. We are seeing increasing violence, unemployment, depression, family breakdown and prevalent addictions. This sense of frustration results in Jo Frasca’s book Delving Deeper, where she brings a frank and understandable insight as a thinking, working and reflective practitioner for working with clients that have long histories in various forms of mental health treatment.
